Paul -- I think your message was intended for me.
Here at my office highrise box, the window doesn't open. It's a new
building, double or triple paned with lead I'd imagine.
I can barely hear anything on the '817 at all on HF at any time -- a few
SW
broadcasters and faint WWV from time to time. It's amazing
considering that it's on the 32nd floor but there's a lot of glass
surrounding me too from other angles of the building.
From home, on the ground, with a groundless MFJ vertical up 15m from an
antenna tuner all is fantastic as well as on the road,
so I know it's the QTH not the rig.
It is not surprising that HF/MW does not work at height. You need GROUND for
lower frequencies
